THE END OF NATURE VII (2005) by Michael Whelan

Acrylic on Panel - 25” x 40”

Up until this point in my End of Nature series, I had portrayed the people (who represent humanity in general) as somewhat oblivious to the support that nature was providing for them. When I began this painting I thought of the figure as a person mislead by folly, wasting energy with a gasoline-powered kite. Later, however, I realized that one could read that she is, through a playful exploration of technology, finding the means for her deliverance.
